The November Man (2014)
Based on a true story?
It's a pretty good film, the plot, acting and action are good and the pace was exciting throughout.The November Man is perfectly entertaining film, touches on some moral issues with family and was easy to watch, although it doesn't really offer anything new in the spy/suspense/thriller genre.
One aspect that is a little more worrying though is that some of the themes, back story and plot seem to be based on Vladimir Putin's own life. I was reminded of Putin's biography when the The November man touched on the apartment block bombings, assassinations, corruption, and KGB. Of course this is just a work of fiction.
Zodiac: Signs of the Apocalypse (2014)
Bad even for a made for TV movie
So many other things you could do with your time rather than watch this movie.
Maybe contact someone you've been meaning to but never seems to find the time. Do that chore you've been putting off. Or even watch something else.
Sorry to say that this is a terrible movie, the plots is weak, the special effects are especially poor, and the movie makes no sense whatsoever.
Really can't state this enough but do something else rather than watch this!
The Human Race (2013)
Sick and pointless
Apart from exploring the absolute worst of human nature I have nothing to recommend about this film.
The acting, sets and concepts are terrible. There's no reason why it has to be set in a town with a school, prison and houses on a Alien planet, apart from that the alien afterthought was a convenient plot device. But the plot still doesn't make any sense.
There is little morality in this film and not enough balance of positive and negative aspects of human nature. Generally all of the characters ending up acting in a depraved manner which is a shame.
Some of the scenes are gratuitous with violence and no meaning or justification, I think it's just for the gore factor which it delivers on. However, I found the film was slow paced, and got tired very quickly with quite clichéd behaviour despite the race element.
Unfortunately, it looks like there could be a sequel, with a man with one leg representing the human race against a winged alien being on an icy planet, where you will die if you walk on the cracks in the ice. That really doesn't seem fair to both the viewers intelligence and the character.
Transmorphers (2007)
Pure name recognition
I was first intrigued by the title, however ultimately disappointed with the film which seems to be using name recognition to steal thunder from the upcoming release of Transformers, also there is no reference to morphing in the film. That aside this is a low budget production with no originality, bad acting, a bad script with numerous references of "so be it" which is ironically used to close actors scenes without justification. The special fx are especially poor in scenes; sounds and graphics are not synchronised or simply missing. The CG is fair but there is poor direction with actors randomly pointing guns which don't shoot as an example.
My overall impression is this is a bad film.
